If you don’t know, now you know.

EBONY’s Thursday night celebration of Black excellence was a showstopper filled with celebrities, community leaders and thinkers from across the African-American landscape.

It was a chance to meet legends like Cicely Tyson, Earth Wind & Fire, and Nile Rodgers; people shaping the future like Issa Rae, Regina King and Bokeem Woodbine; and of course the EBONY and JET staff was on hand to participate in, and capture, the energy of the evening.

But we won’t leave you out. Check out this recap video.
